The Defendant’s truck veered out of its lane and collided head-on with another car. The force of the impact caused great injury to both the Defendant and the other driver. The Defendant was ejected from his truck and was located approximately 50 feet from the wreckage by EMT personnel. While at the hospital blood was forcibly drawn from the Defendant and came back positive for narcotics and alcohol. Several months after his release from the hospital the defendant was charged with DUI. The attorney filed a motion to suppress any admissions by the Defendant and challenged the evidence identifying the Defendant as the driver. DUI charge was dropped.
